Hi, I do not quite understand the issue. When the light disconnects and the plugin cannot reach it anymore then the status should change to off, does that not happen?

I noticed that also with other plugins, i think that this is an issue with the new home app which does not properly update the status. As soon as you disconnect your light and the plugin cannot reach it, the light will always return status off, just somehow the home app does not pick it up...

It's my mistake, HB was not on the local network, the connection to the lamps was only through MiCloud. BTW, it's possible to change the name Mode-Day/Mode-Nights to just Day/Night in plugin?

The names come from the miot spec, you can edit the switches in homekit and change the to what you want, just keep in mind that after a restart it will reset so you would need to rename it again.
